Yes.  It's what a catastrophile does.  ;-)

Seriously, though, it can be scary to feel the start of a new
symptom, such as slight difficulty breathing.  And imagination
inspired by anxiety can go to extremes (picturing oneself in a
respirator).  It's the opposite of denial, which is what I do.
(What, me shaking?  Doesn't everybody?)  Maybe "don't catastrophize"
is too easy for me to say.
